Al-‘Alaq (That Which Clings)

0-1

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Our Prophet (PBH), through the very first revelation of the Quran, was ordered:
“Recite in the name of your Fosterer…” (Chapter 96: Verse 1) and the name of his and our Fosterer is Allah (SWT), as is evident from the very first verse of the first chapter of the Quran:
“Praise is due only for Allah (SWT), the Fosterer of the worlds”. (Chapter 1: Verse 1)
In view of this order of Allah (SWT), we should recite/read before starting the recitation or reading of the Holy Quran which is a part of the Quran, occurring at the beginning of 113 out of 114 chapters of the Quran and also as part of Chapter 27: Verse 30 of the Quran. Through Chapter 16: Verse 98, Allah Taala further orders:
“So when you recite/read the Quran, seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”.
This means that we are required to pray; (Aoozu Billahi min Ash shaitaanir Rajeem) meaning: “I seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”, even before reciting or reading: (Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem)

Recite in the name of your Fosterer Who created {1}.

The five verses constitute the first revelation of the Quran to prophet Muhammed (PBH) through Jibrael (PBH). The subject of the surah is man, his creation, his evils and their consequences.

These five verses of the Quran are reported to be the first revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammed (PBH) on the Night of Al Qadr in the month of Ramazan at the cave of Hira in Makkah.

He created man from something that clings and hangs (like a leech) {2}.

“Same to Verse No.1”
According to Maurice Bucaille, the author of the book “The Bible the Quran and Science”, American Trust publication USA 1979′ page 204: “In the process of the birth of a child, the female egg fertilized by the male sperm, literally clings to the uterus like roots in the soil drawing nourishment for its growth. ‘Alaqa’ is this ‘something that clings’ ! Man has never passed a stage of being a blood clot.” Arabic dictionaries too give the meanings of Alaqa as hanging one, suspended, attached and leech which is a blood sucking worm. Maurice Baucille further remarks. Page 205: “The Quranic description of certain stages in the development of the embyro corresponds exactly to what we today know about it, and the Quran does not contain a single statement that is open to criticism for modem science.” In view of this the word Alaqa has been translated as ‘that which clings and hangs like a leech’.
